Vietnam aims to ensure water security
By 2050, 60 percent of farming areas in Vietnam will be equipped with water-saving irrigation systems, according to the country’s Water Management Strategy, which was recently approved by Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung.
The strategy aims to foster innovations and build action plans to ensure water resources for farming, socio-economic development and daily use. It hopes to maintain a stable water supply for 85 percent of rice cultivating areas by 2030 and innovative farming methods applied in some 60 percent of rice cultivating areas by 2050 nationwide.
